USER’S GUIDE
Battery Management System

Syslog
By default, the Battery Management System can send messages to up to
four Syslog servers whenever Battery Management System or the
embedded management card events occur. The Syslog servers, which
must be specifically identified by their IP addresses or domain names,
record the events in a log that provides a centralized record of events that
occur at network devices.
Syslog (and the event log) will also record discharge events including:
• Discharge time and date
• Discharge ambient and pilot battery temperature
• Discharge measured current
• Amp-hours removed from battery during discharge
Syslog settings. Leave the Syslog settings, except the Server IP settings,
set to their defaults unless otherwise specified by the Syslog network or
system administrator.
This user’s guide does not describe Syslog or its
configuration values in detail. For more information about
Syslog, see RFC3164, at www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.
